Second Quarter 2024 Results and Commentary

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Kinetik reported net income including noncontrolling interest of $108.9 million and $144.4 million, respectively.

Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $234.4 million and $468.0 million, Distributable Cash Flow1 of $162.9 million and $317.4 million, and Free Cash Flow1 of $105.4 million and $213.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.58 Bcf/d.

“The second quarter was a major step towards our ultimate vision for Kinetik,” said Jamie Welch, Kinetik’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “In June, we closed our two largest transactions since the merger in 2022, expanding our system footprint into Northern Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico. This quickly followed the in-service of our organic gathering expansion into Lea County at the beginning of 2024, and most recently, Kinetik expanded gathering, treating, and processing services with one of our largest customers in Lea County, New Mexico. This new amendment increases the existing MVC while also expanding overall margin. A year ago, we had zero operations in the New Mexico Delaware Basin, and today, nearly 20% of our volumes are sourced from New Mexico.”

“The Durango acquisition, a Lea County gas gathering and processing amendment, and the previously announced long-term gas gathering and processing agreement in Eddy County represent approximately $1 billion of strategic investment at a mid-single digit Adjusted EBITDA1 multiple and significantly enhance our position across the entire Delaware Basin.”

“We are in the middle of our 100-day plan to integrate Durango’s assets, processes, and personnel, all while expanding Durango’s geographic scope and system scale. We are pleased with the overall performance of the business, and we have already identified a number of process and system improvements that will create immediate economic value. The Operations team’s project plan includes preventative maintenance, facility upgrades and capacity expansions to existing infrastructure at the Dagger Draw and Maljamar processing complexes. Back-office integration and the implementation of Kinetik’s Environmental, Health and Safety program are now complete. Additionally, we have welcomed over 70 talented employees to the Kinetik team.”

He went on to add, “The Commercial team has been very active with current and prospective customers in New Mexico. We remain highly focused on completing construction of Kings Landing I on time with expected in-service in April 2025, and we have now sanctioned the pre-FID work scope and long-lead critical path items for a second train at the Kings Landing Processing Complex. Growing producer demand in the region and attractive opportunities to connect our Texas System with the Durango system in the Northern Delaware Basin has accelerated the sanctioning of Kings Landing II.”

“Our base business continues to perform well versus our internal expectations outlined in February. Processed natural gas volumes in the quarter were 1.58 Bcf/d, representing a 7% increase year-over-year, despite continued wellhead volume curtailments in response to Waha Hub pricing, which were approximately 140 Mmcf/d.”

Welch continued, “Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 13% year-over-year, reflecting new volumes from the MVC-backed Lea County agreements and improved commodity margins, as well as contributions from the Permian Highway Pipeline Expansion and Delaware Link, which were partially offset by price-related gas volume curtailments and only two months of contributions from GCX. If we closed Durango contemporaneously with the sale of GCX, Kinetik’s second quarter Adjusted EBITDA1 would have increased to nearly $238 million. With the successful completion of the Durango and GCX transactions, we are revising upwards our 2024 Guidance.”

“I am incredibly proud of our team’s execution, focus and dedication to closing two transactions in the month of June and the completion of the integration process. These actions represent a significant step on our corporate journey and achievement of our financial targets.”

Revised 2024 Guidance and Outlook

On February 28, 2024, Kinetik provided 2024 Guidance, including full year Adjusted EBITDA1 of $905 million to $960 million and Capital Expenditures2 of $125 million to $165 million.

Following (i) earnings outperformance to budget in the first half of 2024, (ii) the successful completion of the Durango acquisition, and (iii) the divestiture of the Company’s equity interest in GCX, Kinetik is revising its 2024 Guidance upwards.

Kinetik now estimates full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1 between $940 million and $980 million, a 3% increase at the midpoint versus the previous guidance range and implies over 14% Adjusted EBITDA1 growth year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 Guidance assumptions include:

  • Approximately six months of Durango’s existing business;
  • High-teens growth of gas processed volumes across Kinetik system;
  • Divestiture of the 16% non-operated GCX equity interest at the start of June 2024;
  • Updated commodity prices of approximately $77 per barrel for WTI, $2 per MMBtu for Houston Ship Channel natural gas, and $0.60 per gallon for natural gas liquids for the remainder of the year; and
  • Unhedged commodity exposure is approximately 7% of expected remaining gross profit.

For Capital Expenditures2 including maintenance capital, Kinetik now estimates guidance to be $260 million to $300 million. This increase reflects capital for (i) the construction of Kings Landing I and pre-FID spend for Kings Landing II, (ii) the new and amended long-term gathering and processing agreements in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, and (iii) capital for integration, growth and maintenance costs associated with the existing Durango business.

As previously stated, the acquisition and capital projects carry an attractive mid-single digit build-cost multiple and are expected to be over 10% accretive to free cash flow per share starting the second half of 2025.

Capital Allocation Priorities

The Company remains focused on its disciplined capital allocation priorities that maximize shareholder value. The achievement of its leverage target of 3.5x represents one of its core financial priorities and now provides Kinetik with broader capital allocation flexibility going forward.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including non-controlling interests adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, asset write-offs, the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, share-based compensation expense, non-cash increases and decreases related to trading and hedging agreements, extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

(2) Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, returns on invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Distributable Cash Flow is a useful measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends we make.

(3) Free Cash Flow is defined as Distributable Cash Flow adjusted for growth capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest, capitalized interest, realized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives and contributions in aid of construction. Free Cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful performance measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends that we make.

(4) Net Debt is defined as total current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt illustrates our total debt position less cash on hand that could be utilized to pay down debt at the balance sheet date. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of total long-term debt, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
